The aim of the study is to reveal the ability of adults to recognize the emotional state and intonation contour of speech of children with autism spectrum disorders. 30 children with autism spectrum disorders aged 5-14 years, 60 typically developing coevals (control), and 440 adults (listeners) were participants in the study. Two analysis methods were used: perception study and spectrographic analysis of child speech. Overall, it was found that the adults are able to recognize the child’s emotional state by the characteristics of his voice. The adults recognize the states of comfort and discomfort with equal probability when listening to the speech of typically developing children. In the speech of children with autism spectrum disorders adults better recognize the state of discomfort. Correspondence of the intonation contour of the typically developing child’s repeated word to the adult’s sample were determined better than intonation contour of the words repeated by children with autism spectrum disorders. These data can be used to teaching caregivers interacting with individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
